UNIVERSITY SPACE: BUREAUCRATIC VS. HUMANITARIAN

In the end of XX - the beginning of XXI centuries, university reforms in Russia had managerial bias: they did not developed civilizational strategies of higher education, but introduced strict methodological reporting, formal accounting of competencies and other bureaucratic documentation. The goals of the scientific activity were formal: international ratings, high publication factors, which immediately became market products. According to the author, such an approach reduces the humanitarian motivation of scientific creativity, which has been stimulating scientists and changing civilizational practices for centuries. The lack of freedom of scientific creativity as well as the difficult situation of university teachers is one of the most dangerous humanitarian obstacles to the development of universities today.
